Exodus 2:23-25 Providence of God God acknowledged them in their trials.... 1:6 we see all Jacob's family is deceased God is silent but not absent God NEVER forgets or has a lapse in memory He is always working for my good and HIS glory For the Israelites, He is preparing them for His plans for their future We should be vigilant in praying and petitioning Him Three(3) times Pharaoh tried to break them:  made them slaves (they worked hard and grew in numbers) asked the midwives to kill the male born children (they refused) Pharaoh ordered the slaying of male infants 2 and under (caused his daughter to see and love Moses on sight)  Even in this, He raised Moses up to lead His people to the promised land. God will continue to take care us v.25
